As long as the Rolodex has been mentioned, is there any way one can search consulting or referring physicians by specialty? Many times I will simply write an order to "Refer patient to orthopedist of choice". It would be nice if my staff could search by "ortho", bring up the list and then let the patient decide. Also, my aging brain sometimes has trouble remembering a physician's name if I do not refer to them regularly, e.g. one in another city a few miles away. Having the ability to search by speciality would be terrific.
